I agree. I haven't had any problems when playing in ensemble, but for some reason when I am practicing by myself I find that some pitches sound rather off. I'm not exactly sure what that is. I believe I MAY be over compensating for pitch problems that I had on a previous horn. That is my best guess.
On my 56J I use a Dillon Geib 5 in bronze with gold plating. I too have found that the Conn Helleberg 120S that comes with the horn is a great mouthpiece for that horn. For me, the Geib has a much darker and deeper sound.
